The Russell was an awesome stay. It's a very modern way of lodging - everything is text and code driven. There isn't a reception desk or bell-hop, which I found refreshing. The place is beautiful with the old church decor like stained glass and exposed rafters but with really modern rooms with every amenity you need. I found the staff (via text) to be super receptive and helpful - I had a slight issue out of the control of anyone and they handled it perfectly. I would definitely stay there again!

The rooms aren’t sound proof. We had noisy neighbors so there was a lot of disturbance. While the hotel’s philanthropic activities are commendable, the lack of sound proofing is not going to get us to return to the property.

This was a great place to stay while visiting Nashville for the first time. The hotel is beautiful and cozy. The rooms are also very nice, clean and allowed us to have some good night's sleep.

The location is also very nice. It's on the east side, so it's a nice quiet area, but very close to all the great places on the east side, and not so far from the downtown, which you can get with a five-minute Uber/Lift.

It has a big parking lot next to the building, which also makes it very adequate if you have a car.

The management was very professional and responsive, which is great for a boutique hotel that doesn't have an actual employee in a lobby. We were able to communicate with them and solve a couple of issues very fast and easily.

Definitely a highly recommended place. Will look to repeat a stay at the hotel very soon.

This is a very quirky hotel, but we loved it. It's strange at first that there is no staff (except when the staff is there to clean the rooms). But they were very responsive when we texted with questions or had a problem (including letting us move to another room in the middle of the night when our air conditioning unit started making a noise that we couldn't stop). The rooms were really well-equipped. And we loved the convenient parking right across the street. It's also really convenient to nearby food, drink and entertainment venues, and a short drive to the downtown area.

First, anyone thinking about staying here, note that interior means NO WINDOWS. It does say that way, way, way at the end of the property details. The primary reason we wished we had windows for our five-day stay was so we could air the room out. While the management said they didn't \"notice\" a smell, it was pretty bad. I don't know how anyone could not notice it. I went back and read some previous reviews that mentioned the bad smell, so clearly they know about it. They did offer to let us change rooms but they were leaving for the day or the weekend or whatever and we were helping our son move and couldn't make it back to switch. As far as value, this was ridiculous. Three hundred a night for a room that felt like a cave. A smelly one. As far as cleaniness, I put on a pair of white socks, fresh out of the laundry, and walked across the room to sit down to put my shoes on. In those few feet, the bottom of my socks were filthy, that tells you more about cleaniness than any adjectives could. Also, beware of putting anything in the fridge unless you intentionally want to freeze whatever it is. While I admire their mission, that isn't why we stayed there. Perhaps they might want to consider that putting a few more dollars toward keeping their rooms cleaner might result in more return visitors.

This property was spectacular! It was beautiful, unique, clean, comfortable beds, (free) water, snacks, and other conveniences,

Those with mobility issues should be aware of the need to climb steps into the building and potentially to your room. Also, while there are signs to rooms, they’re a little hard to read at night and not at the entrance.

This hotel was in an ideal location for us. We picked up a rental car and we were able to park it for free at the hotel's car park.

No need to faff with check-in (a bonus when you just want to get in after a long flight) as all the details for accessing the hotel and room are sent before arrival. Very easy to follow, great communication from the hotel.

Room was good for a quick stopover. I think cleanliness can be improved as some areas didn't look fresh. Pillows need replacing too as looked and felt very lumpy. We were lucky that the room had a seperate Dyson air unit that we could use as the wall mounted unit had mould along the flaps so we switched this off immediately.

Lovely hotel, just a few improvements necessary to make it 5/5.

The only issue we had with the room was an odd noise from the air conditioning unit that lasted about 10 seconds and repeated itself fairly reliably every 14 minutes. It wasn't terribly loud but not one that would cover with normal white noise. We stayed two nights and the management was very responsive and checked on the noise but was unable to duplicate it. We experienced again the second nights stay.

Other than that, this was our second time to stay at the Russell and it was very nice. Oddly enough, our last stay was in the same room. The property is unique, very interesting and well suited for our purposes in the Nashville area. I'm sure we'll be back.

The property operates partly like hotel, partly like ABNB. It’s an old church in an old but nice neighborhood that has been refurbished into a 3-story immaculate hotel. Large and comfortable lobby on ground floor where one finds self service coffee and tea options. No elevator but has a small luggage elevator that worked as represented.
No staff on site, no restaurant. But our room was spacious, well furnished and clean. Bathroom just fine. Good TV with streaming services available, which one sometimes doesn’t find in full-service hotels.
No windows in our room, which sounds weird but wasn’t because of a large skylight in the ceiling (with an electronically retractable and opaque shade) that provided a view into a well lit vaulted ceiling above the third floor lobby.
Located in good section of East Nashville where one can easily walk to numerous dining options. In short, it was cool. And secure. One is given access codes into the building and one’s room. We never felt insecure because of the absence of staff. And a representative of the property was very responsive by text to various questions.
Highly recommend unless you need a restaurant, bar, fitness center, pool and staff on site.
5 out of 5.

The Russell was one of the best stays I’ve had in a long time. This hotel was very thoughtful in every aspect. This is a hotel without front desk concierge but you could not even tell. The communicative signs around the building made navigating simple. Free local coffee in the lobby, Photo Booth to capture daily moments, and absolutely breathtaking stained glass. The thoughtful touches preserving the history of this building was so well done. The room was fantastic too. Spacious bathroom with nice amenities and the robes were absolutely necessary. My birthday weekend was greeted with a sweet note, a bottle of champagne, and local Nashville sweets. This hotel is also in a prime location where walking to hotspots like 5 points is only about 10 minutes. Coffee shops, bakeries, and great bars were about a 5 minute walk. All in all 5 out of 5 for The Russell.

Excellent location and one of the most beautiful boutique properties I’ve ever stayed (and I’ve stayed in many). Our concierge, Hannah was beyond accommodating and went out of her way to make sure we had the best stay possible. We will definitely stay here anytime we are in Nashville. It was also a bonus knowing that a portion of the proceeds from our hotel bill were being donating back to community. I’d give this property even more stars if I could.

I recently stayed at The Russell in Nashville and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The property itself is stunning—beautifully designed with so much character and charm that really makes it stand out from typical hotel stays.

Avery was incredibly responsive and accommodating from start to finish, which made everything feel seamless and welcoming. The thoughtful touches truly elevated the stay—the snacks, koozies, plush bathrobes, and overall amenities far exceeded my expectations.

Parking was easy and felt very secure, which is always a huge plus. The location was also super convenient—within walking distance to a few great restaurants, and only about a $5 Lyft ride to Broadway, making it easy to enjoy everything Nashville has to offer without the hassle.

I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

There was a filtered water and ice machine on each floor with a microwave. Bottled water and snacks provided in the room with a coffee machine. Coffee and tea available in the lobby. We did notice that grab bars are needed in the shower for safety reasons.

Loved the location. It’s a quick drive to Broadway street, while being in a quiet neighborhood that allows you to relax and get a good night’s sleep. The location is also great because it is a quick walking distance from lots of delicious restaurants with great reviews.
The hotel itself was amazing. They did a great job with the decorations and set up. It is clean and has great amenities. Free coffee stand, and they provided the room with a couple of great local snacks and a couple of water bottles. I strongly recommend the Russell hotel. I would definitely stay there again on my next visit. Plus there is a parking lot for the hotel so parking is not an issue.

Our stay was quiet and comfortable. They even have a cute Photo Booth. The building is beautiful. And we love that it’s not part of a large hotel chain and that part of the cost goes to local homeless ministries.

If you’re looking for a place that’s equal parts unforgettable and uniquely Nashville, The Russell is it. My first stay was pure magic—and it definitely won’t be my last.

The hotel (a former church) is breathtaking with stained-glass windows and nods to country music’s most iconic stars (hi, pop-art Dolly).

Check-in and out were easy, convenient, and seamless. I loved being able to brew a cup of coffee before heading out to the airport or on my way to explore the city.

My room—an interior king—was perfectly appointed with complimentary snacks, waters, and even cute koozies. There were plenty of outlets and USB ports to charge my phone and battery banks, an easy-to-use air/heat unit, plus a Dyson fan and a noise machine to help me sleep.

The dimmable and ambient-friendly lighting let me set the mood when I woke up, settled in for the night, or relaxed. The bathroom was huge—and, honestly, the Dyson hair-dryer sealed my five-star review—and made getting ready in the morning even faster and easier.

The hotel is walkable to some of East Nashville’s finest restaurants, coffee spots, and shopping, and nestled into the most adorable brick-lined neighborhood that I suggest you explore. And getting to the airport and downtown was a breeze. I can’t wait to come back and explore other rooms and see more of Music City while staying here.

The room was clean it had snacks and water bottles which I appreciate. The neighborhood was low key and had a couple of bars and restaurants around. The rooms also had robes which is a nice touch. Tea and coffee are available downstairs and the hallway had a water station and microwave available. Most things you need for a pleasant stay are available. The only limitations are that parking hours are limited due to residential permits and rooms are not cleaned daily. It was odd not having any staff onsite, but if you are used to staying at air bnbs you probably won't mind. It is an interesting building with nice decor. Guests weren't loud so I didn't experience issues with noise. It would be nice if there were a hot tub, but you can't have everything.

This is the cutest place! Check in was the easiest process and everything you could possibly need is on site or in the room. I love love love that they do outreach in the community with some of the proceeds which made me choose this place. Everything is decorated so perfectly and fun and everything was super clean!! Only one note-If you cannot do stairs, make sure your room is on the first floor. There are no elevators. We knew this so it wasn't a problem for us.
